In the Post-Tribune on a recent Tuesday there was an article in there about manufacturing being on the rise in Indiana so the next time you Democrats want to complain about Gov. Mike Pence’s job, call the Post-Tribune and complain.
It’s time for the FBI to bring Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in for questioning. What are his ties to Russia? What are his ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin that he’s willing to destroy this country and Eastern Europe?
I read in the newspaper where University of Notre Dame alumni Kenn Ricci and his wife, Pamela, donated $5 million to create a Band of the Fighting Irish and RecSports facility. It amazes me. A tax write-off is probably the primary reason so they can protect their other investments and capital, but why don’t they take that money and help students out here that have loans? Student loan debt is more than $1 trillion in the United States. Let’s take the burden off these children instead of giving it to some facility. They’ve already got all the money in the world. Why would you want to give them more? Give it to kids that are struggling to make ends meet.
All these presidents all the way from Ronald Reagan back this way have done nothing but try to destroy the average man’s way of life, the middle class and under with treaty agreements like this new Trans-Pacific Partnership among Pacific Rim countries and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Former President Bill Clinton passed NAFTA. That’s why my son drives a Chevy Silverado made in Mexico and a friend of mine had a Dodge Ram made in Mexico.

For businesses I want to contact I want a street address, not a “www” website copout.

Though medical science says a fetus is not a person, exactly when does a fetus become a person? Let’s see. Maybe we should ask God.
On a recent Saturday and Sunday, gasoline was under $2 a gallon and crude oil’s price was down to $41 and 90-some cents a barrel. I went by again a day or so later and gas was $2.12 a gallon. If the price of a barrel of oil is going down, how come gas prices go up?
After several days of being roasted for claiming that President Obama and Hillary Clinton founded ISIS, Donald Trump falls back on his standard excuse that we don’t get his sarcasm. He blames everyone except himself for all of his blunders.
How much of his alleged “huge” fortune would Donald Trump have left if he actually paid people what he owed them?
People seem to forget that we are all one country. All of these wasted millions spent to divide people just to hold power, it is just insane. That money should be spent to strengthen our people and our country.
Congressional Republicans are blocking funding for fighting the Zika virus by tying it to efforts to defund Planned Parenthood. And they try to convince us that they are not like Donald Trump.
